Streamlining radiology information management workflows
An advanced radiology information system (RIS), Sunrise RIS allows
healthcare providers to securely manage the flow of data in real-time from any
location with Internet access. This powerful, intuitive system is designed to
facilitate administration, workflow, management and best practices in radiology.
As part of Eclipsys Diagnostic Imaging Solutions™, Sunrise RIS can be integrated
with Sunrise picture archiving and communication system, Sunrise PACS™,
powered by Sectra. This provides real-time connectivity and a complete paperless
toolset for managing every stage of a radiology exam — from the moment the
order is placed, to the generation of the bill. Sunrise RIS also offers integrated
speech recognition capabilities and mammography reporting and tracking.
Sunrise RIS and Sunrise PACS can be used together, as standalone options, or
as components of Eclipsys’ enterprise-wide solution, Sunrise Clinical Manager™.
For clinicians, Sunrise RIS provides each user with a simple but powerful inter
face that is tailored to their role, ensuring that all users’ workflows are optimized
and screen time is minimized.
For healthcare organizations, Sunrise RIS reduces costs while increasing
patient and physician satisfaction.
Key features
Patient scheduling
A sophisticated scheduling system facilitates centralized booking for multi-site facilities.
In addition to its highly acclaimed grid-style scheduler, Sunrise RIS also includes the wizard-based
Turbo-Scheduler, which allows one-step booking of multiple coordinated appointments for a patient.
Patient arrival
Sunrise RIS accelerates the reception process. Patients can quickly be identified from an expected
arrivals list and walk-ins can be easily registered. At the point of arrival, users can update the patient’s
demographic record and insurance information, as well as generate barcoded labels. When direct
payment is required, Sunrise RIS can also produce invoices.
Technologist worklist
The technologist worklist allows a technologist to view upcoming
appointments, and indicates who has arrived. Technologists can mark
the beginning and end of exams with a single click, order additional
exams and enter their observations, either free text or graphics.
Diagnostic review
Sunrise RIS is tightly integrated with Sunrise PACS and can
dynamically interact with most DICOM viewers, so that images
are displayed automatically as an exam is selected for dictation.
Key images can be captured, annotated and included within the
diagnostic report. The radiologist can create one-click normal
reports or can generate reports from templates that include
multiple-choice or fill-in-the-blank prompts.
Digital dictation and transcription
Sunrise RIS includes an MP3 dictation module. It allows
radiologists to interpret studies remotely from any Internet location.
The Sunrise RIS transcription module supports foot-pedal control
and variable-speed playback.
Speech recognition
Sunrise RIS offers an integrated module that dynamically converts
speech to text with a high degree of accuracy. It employs Dictaphone’s
PowerScribe Software Developer’s Kit, embedded into the Sunrise
RIS application. This optimizes the workflow for the radiologist and
improves report turnaround time. The radiologist’s speech dictation
is instantaneously displayed as text, which the radiologist can review
and sign immediately. The final diagnostic report is automatically
delivered to the referring physician via fax, email or as a result in the
electronic patient record.
Mammography reporting and tracking
Sunrise RIS incorporates advanced mammography reporting and
tracking into the standard RIS workflow. Mammography procedures
use the same processes employed for all exams, including scheduling,
patient arrival, technologist tools, diagnostic review and automatic
report distribution, ensuring efficiency at every stage. Sunrise RIS also
provides the administrative support necessary to ensure compliance
with the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA). In addition,
Sunrise RIS has an interactive patient recall and follow-up module as
well as support for BI-RADS assessment coding.
Report distribution
Referring physicians can be immediately notified by email when a
radiologist has recorded an opinion. The physician can then listen to
the radiologist’s MP3 recording and view the diagnostic images online,
all via a Web browser. Finalized diagnostic reports are automatically
distributed by email and/or fax according to the preference of each
recipient.
Automated billing
Sunrise RIS supports automated transfer of patient demographic
and exam billing data to a wide variety of billing systems. In most
cases, this eliminates the need for data entry in the billing system,
saving time and reducing costly errors. Optionally, Sunrise RIS can
be delivered with a sophisticated billing module, including online
insurance eligibility verification and electronic insurance submission
and reconciliation.
Statistical reporting
Sunrise RIS can generate a wide variety of analytical and
administrative reports that provide decision support to managers,
allowing them to monitor and improve quality and productivity.
Sunrise RIS has an Enterprise/Worklist Snapshots Subscription
Service. This Web-based service allows users to subscribe to email
notifications for certain changes in their worklists. Administrators
are automatically alerted when service levels, wait times or staff work
backlogs are outside of acceptable parameters.

pertaining to software systems are supported by Sunrise RIS:
• 128-bit SSL encryption
• Biometric authentication
• Encrypted passwords
• Suspension of log-in privileges after repeated password violations
• Automatic user log-off after a period of inactivity
